The renovation of Wards 45 and 47 at National University Hospital involved the upgrading of existing pediatric ward facilities within the hospital’s Main Building Level 4. Undertaken as part of efforts to support the expansion of inpatient capacity, the healthcare refurbishment project required careful planning and coordination within an operational hospital environment.

We were appointed as the consultant quantity surveyor, providing quantity surveying services, cost management, and commercial support throughout the project. Through effective cost planning, cost monitoring, and contract administration, we supported the successful delivery of the refurbishment works while maintaining financial control and cost certainty.

Healthcare refurbishment projects present unique challenges due to the need to balance construction activities with ongoing operational requirements. Working within an active hospital environment requires careful coordination among stakeholders, clear communication, and effective management of project costs throughout the renovation process. Maintaining cost certainty was essential to support informed decision-making and ensure that project objectives remained aligned with budget considerations.

As the consultant quantity surveyor, we provided comprehensive cost and commercial management support throughout the project lifecycle. Working closely with the project stakeholders, our team assisted in managing the financial aspects of the renovation through strategic cost planning, procurement support, and contract administration.

Our expertise helped ensure that project costs were carefully monitored, commercial risks were effectively managed, and stakeholders were provided with accurate cost information to support decision-making at every stage of the project.
